Thank you,
Always nice when your image gets well scored by fellow photographers. As I read my email I was elated that I placed firist in Bad Hair Day. When I read I placed first in the other two challenges I entered I was, well shocked, like winning the lottery, without the money of course, but maybe I should go and buy a ticket.
